Choose an activity you either know you enjoy or believe you will enjoy, and make a date to do it by yourself.

Treat this date as you would any other commitment: dress nicely, arrive on time, and don’t put it off unless an absolute emergency comes up. When you go out on your date, notice the things that make you feel good.

Enjoy the experience of being with yourself and doing something fun. When you are finished, reflect on the date just as you would with any other event.

What did you enjoy about the experience?

What did you dislike?

What would you have changed?

You should make a date with yourself at least once a month, even if it’s just for a walk in the woods or an evening on the couch with popcorn and rental
movies.
